Autonomous Control - RI CoPilot by SeeByte

RI CoPilot by SeeByte

VideoRay RI (Reacquire Identify) CoPilot by SeeByte uses sonar, navigation and vehicle control combined as a live control capable of going to a preset surface or subsurface target location using coordinates, run a preset search route, or go automatically to “point and click” locations in route. Pilots can autonomously follow pre-defined sorties or maintain a station in currents exceeding 1 knot and rough sea conditions.

With RI CoPilot, operators can detect, acquire and classify, all during the same sortie. BlueView imaging sonar identifies underwater objects in a user-selectable operation and allows long range target detection in turbid or black waters and close-in target classification, all in real time. With precise bottom track data provided by the Teledyne DVL (Doppler Velocity Log), pilots can autonomously acquire a GPS fix on the surface and, once submerged, continuously update the ROV’s position in water altitudes ranging from 80 meters deep to as shallow as 31 centimeters.
